Narodnaya Volya

Narodnaya Volya, also known as People's Will, was a Russian socialist revolutionary group that was led by young intellectuals and consisted of angry Russian peasants. The group existed from 1879 to 1884, and the group was most famous for its 1881 assassination of Czar Aleksandr II of Russia in a bomb attack. Minister of the Interior Vyacheslav von Plehve would crush the group, ending its attacks on the czarist government.
